Pfizer’s Outside Counsel Model: One Law Firm, No Billable Hours
As of Jan. 1, 2008, Pfizer is giving almost all of its U.S. labor and employment work to Jackson Lewis for the next two years. In return, Jackson Lewis has agreed to an annual cap on its fees -- no billable hours or even flat per-matter fees. Margaret Madden, head of Pfizer's employment law group, described how her group decided to adopt a national counsel model and how it settled on Jackson Lewis.
